Gro Curtis and Nathaniel Brown have created this customized menswear piece as a part of Brown's Punk fashion film 'Untrue' exclusive to SHOWstudio. They purchased this quarter-century old coat from Goodwill Warehouse and proceeded to rip, burn and deconstruct the garment over two consecutive days. They then embellished it by adding fur details to the right shoulder.

When speaking about this coat and on punk, Curtis said he was 'too young to talk about what punk really represented'. However, he drew parallels with the movement’s emotional routes confessing he was 'often angry with the fashion industry and society in general.' Describing the making of the garment as a cathartic process he ended by saying - 'that precise feeling of personal liberation is punk for me. It is not about clothes, it is about intention.'
